The original historical residential building of the farmhouse was irreversibly destroyed by a number of insensitive reconstructions done by the previous owner. We thus made a decision to build in its place a new building that would follow the original plan of the initial structure and allow the other farm buildings on site to continue defining the previous courtyard composition. The barn in the upper part of the courtyard from which only the peripheral wall was left standing, was not restored to the original shape but intentionally left in the existing state and conserved. Inside of this fragment a lightweight built-in garage roof level was constructed, lower than the preserved perimeter wall of the barn and thus completely hidden from the outside views.
